Cartoonist Interested in Making Characters. Need Programmer.

Hey, everyone. I'm a cartoonist who lately has been suffering from a serious lack of motivation. I need a project to get me interested in cartooning again and, hey, what better choice than to work on some material with some of my favorite cartoon characters in one of my favorite video games, right? The thing is, all of this coding nonsense to actually make characters work is just plain over my head. So I figured I'd do all of the artwork for the characters and see if some dumb shmuck... I mean... helpful person would like to help code for the characters' attacks!

I've got several characters in mind as well as movesets and I'd really like to create some characters for MUGEN who feel more authentic to their source material or maybe just a bit on the silly side. For example, the first character I'd like to work on would be Sonic the Hedgehog, with a few attacks such as:

Super Sonic Power-Up
-When the Special Bar is filled, transform into Super Sonic, boosting all stats as the bar slowly drains.

Projectiles
-Weak Punch: Gold Ring
-Normal Punch: Power-Up Monitor
-Strong Punch: Chaos Emerald

Buzzsaw
-Similar to the Blob's buzzsaw move from Clayfighter, strongest form of it surrounds Sonic in flame ala the Sonic 3 fire shield and temporarily stuns the opponent. But use it too many times and Sonic gets a hot foot, running around the stage uncontrollably while his sneakers burn.

Now You See Me, Now You Don't!
-Sonic zips off of the side of the screen, then in behind the opponent and kicks him in the butt before laughing and zipping back to the side he was originally on.

Guitar Smash
-Swings an electric guitar like a mallet at the opponent

Amps
-Hooks up huge amps and plays guitar loudly, blowing opponent back with music notes

Tennis
-Kicks the opponent into the air, pulls out a tennis racket, and zips back and forth across the screen a few times, playing tennis against himself with the opponent as the ball.

Werewolf
-A full moon rises upward, turning Sonic into his werewolf form from Sonic Unleashed, he then lunges at the opponent, resulting in a fight cloud and lots of howling/attack sounds, ending in a gulp. The cloud fades, leaving only werewolf Sonic, who hiccups, then burps and spits out his opponent and transforms back into himself, looking disgusted.

If anyone out there is interested in making some creative and silly MUGEN characters, please contact me! I think this would be a lot of fun! If you're curious about my artistic ability, my deviantART gallery is questionthemajority.deviantart.com and here are a few sketches of Sonic specifically:

Hello, are you used to animation? do you need any help in starting to make characters? Any info you dont have that might help you out?


A good spriter is bound to find a coder. =)
Like in the following example:

If you start drawing your sprites to practice and show you will find a lot more persons interested in working with you.

Best of Lucks.

Depends. Is there any specific difference between standard animation and sprite animation?

Palettized frames, thats the main difference. You can make sprites without them sharing palettes but its a mess to try to work with them on the engine later.

I might be interested.  Sonic is cool.  Who else do you have in mind?  Also, I've been looking for somebody for a WIP of mine.  Are you any good with more anime-like styles? 

As for specifics about sprite animation, if you have photoshop you should be good.  Otherwise, you can get GIMP for free.  And while you don't technically need it, Fighter Factory is incalculably handy when developing Mugen characters.
